After posting a photo of the notoriously curvy Marilyn Monroe, Gaga wrote: ‘To all the girls that think you’re ugly because you’re not a size 0, you’re the beautiful one. It’s society who’s ugly.

‘Thanks to my fans who love me no matter what, and know the meaning of real beauty&compassion.

‘I really love you.’

Gaga, 26, also then seemed to make fun of the talk surrounding her weight by stepping out in Paris wearing a tres unusual balloon dress, that more resembled a fat suit than haute couture.

Last week, the Born This Way star blamed the delicious food at her Dad’s Italian restaurant for any weight gain, which was a far cry from the controversy caused a few months previously when she told fans she was eating a salad but ‘dreaming of a cheeseburger’ before claiming ‘pop stars don’t eat’.

What do you think about all the talk around Lady Gaga’s supposed weight gain? Should we leave her alone or does she invite this sort of discussion by being so open and graphic with her fans? Let us know your thoughts in the comment box below.
